Rather than derail Zigma's thread ill put this here. Im pretty sure its old but just saw it again today and cant get over how ridiculous this is.

Now I know we could say that we don't see what happened before they started filmed, but worst case scenario is that they were skating somewhere they shouldnt, this rent a cop came up and told them to leave or stop, and they either ignored him or made some smart comment, because they are 14 year olds anyways. Still, even if they told him to fuck off, which I am sure they didnt, the cop cant just go up to one of them, put them in a headlock, and basically throw them to the ground, can he? From that point on he was clearly projecting the torture he experienced from the cool kids on high school on these poor kids.
PS. I cant stand skater kids either, but they are still kids, and i dont see any large crowds they could be disrupting around them, so really, its not that big a deal.
